I slept like a baby! Only a couple of time I woke, just to check the time. I had already packed the night before. After a quick wash and putting on my favourite yellow V neck tee-shirt! (You know the one! The one that makes me look like I've for t***!). Made sure I had everything before leaving the room. Wall to wall blue skies! Sun still quite low in the east! Today is going to be a hot one. Just have my fingers crossed it lasts for me to arrive at Mission Beach...

Waking up today, the weather was still wet, and cloudy. I had a long tour booked today up to Cape Tribulation about 175km away from Cairns. I was ready this morning, and didn't have to rush. I think I was a bit paranoid because yesterday I was nearly late. The driver Wiley picked me up about 07:20, and after a few other stops to pick up people we started to head north. Everyone on the bus seemed nice, one even lived close to Göteborg! We all chatted and the firs...

I had set my alarm for 08:20 as my pick up was coming at 08:50. I must have switched off my alarm and rolled over to go back to sleep! The next thing I know I look at Sainsbury's watch - and the time was 08:49. I jumped out of bed, grabbed my day bag, and put loads of stuff in it, hoping that I had go what I needed and ran out the door. I hadn't missed it luckily, it pulled up a few seconds after I got to reception. That was close! We had to pick up a few more pe...

I didn't get out of my bed until about 10 o'clock the diving yesterday really took it out of me. I didn't really have any plans today, so I'm just going to chill out, and relax. I looked out the window to find the weather hasn't changed and still rubbish. I said good bye to the 2 Danish guys that were leaving to Melbourne and went back to sleep, I wasn't on my own in the dorm now. I woke up again at 12, the weather hasn't improved so I pack a day bag, and went ...

My first morning waking up in Australia! The hostel is very basic, and a little run down. To be honest it's one of the worst hostels I've stayed in. Plus it's got a funky man/mould smell about it. Anyway, the location and price is more important! I had to be up at 6:45 and walk down to the harbour. I had walked down there yesterday, so I knew exactly where I was going. Making sure I had time to stop via Mc Donald's to use their free wifi. I didn't actually buy an...
